Forum: “Let’s Talk Turkey!” What’s So Important About Thanksgivings?

9am Sunday, October 30 - Guild Room - One of the five basic types of prayer, thanksgiving has deep roots in the Judeo-Christian tradition. An “attitude of gratitude” is one of the key indicators of spiritual and emotional health.

Are we thanking God for the right things? What do we do when disappointed? Join Dean Richardson and Canon Chris Harris for a forum exploring the history, theology, and practical importance of thanksgiving as a spiritual practice. Come and learn new ways of approaching this ancient prayer form.
